🎙️✨ New Episode!
A Brand Story from the Road to #RSAC 2025 — Featuring Akamai Technologies

Every year, as we get ready for RSA Conference, we fire up the engine and the mics—not just to cover the #tech, but to capture the #business, the strategy, and most importantly, the human side of #cybersecurity.

Our latest Brand Story does just that.

In this pre-conference conversation, we sit down with Rupesh Chokshi, SVP & GM of Application Security at #Akamai, to talk about the shifting cybersecurity landscape as we move deeper into the #AI era. From #APIattacks and #LLM scraping to hybrid infrastructures and #zerotrust environments, it’s clear that security is no longer just a barrier—it’s a business enabler.

And Akamai is right at the center of that transformation.

We explore what it means to build real #cyberresilience, how organizations can rethink their security strategy in an AI-driven world, and why this year’s #RSAC2025 Conference is set to be a defining moment for both innovation and trust.

🫶 A special thank you to Akamai for sponsoring our RSAC 2025 coverage and continuing to support conversations that matter.

#Insurance Firm #Lemonade Says #API Glitch Exposed Some Driver’s License Numbers - SecurityWeek

Lemonade says the incident is not material and that its operations were not compromised, nor was its customer data targeted.

Insurance firm Lemonade is notifying roughly 190,000 individuals that their driver’s license numbers were likely exposed due to a technical glitch.

> Hmm, it wasn’t targeted but was exposed

#RESTful #API design advice wanted.

I'm blundering my way through my first #REST API implementation (for a #decentralized storage network.)

I have several APIs working but still unsure about how these should work to support different client styles and use cases.

For example, someone suggested custom headers for metadata which I wasn't aware was an option! How to code binary data in a JSON payload is another of many questions I have.

Can you point to design guides or best practice examples?

🆕 blog! “You don't need an API key to archive Twitter Data”

Apparently there's no need for IP laws any more, so here's a way to archive high-fidelity Twitter data without signing up for an expensive API key.

This is perfect for academics wishing to preserve Tweets, journalists wanting to download evidence, or simply embedding content without leaking user data…

I'm using your #iOS #app.

I've tried a few, and yours rocks. Except...

Every time I open it, I have to tap the [Home] button multiple times. In a #browser, when I reload, I'm instantly current.

I've never written an app for iOS, and it's been a minute since I wrote an Adroid app.

Is this happening because of some #API limit? Could you maybe iterate the process until you get < 10 new posts/boosts? I'm okay waiting some extra time.

"When thinking about a large language model input and output, a text prompt (sometimes accompanied by other modalities such as image prompts) is the input the model uses to predict a specific output. You don’t need to be a data scientist or a machine learning engineer – everyone can write a prompt. However, crafting the most effective prompt can be complicated. Many aspects of your prompt affect its efficacy: the model you use, the model’s training data, the model configurations, your word-choice, style and tone, structure, and context all matters. Therefore, prompt engineering is an iterative process. Inadequate prompts can lead to ambiguous, inaccurate responses, and can hinder the model’s ability to provide meaningful output.

When you chat with the Gemini chatbot, you basically write prompts, however this whitepaper focuses on writing prompts for the Gemini model within Vertex AI or by using the API, because by prompting the model directly you will have access to the configuration such as temperature etc.

This whitepaper discusses prompt engineering in detail. We will look into the various prompting techniques to help you getting started and share tips and best practices to become a prompting expert. We will also discuss some of the challenges you can face while crafting prompts."
